Sunday Drive: Berthoud Pass, Continental Divide - 1951

On the way to South Dakota to visit Grandpa Grenfell in 1951, we crossed the Continental Divide on U.S. Route 40 at Berthoud Pass.

If you're wondering what the bronze plaque on the stone monument says, here's a better photo courtesy of Pass Bagger.

I have no recollection of this place at all, unlike our earlier stay in Manuelito.
